Commune with Jeff Krasno : Joy vs. Happiness: Dr. Judith Joseph on Healing from HFD
SHOW NOTES
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno speaks with psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Judith Joseph about high functioning depression (HFD) — a condition she identified through research and clinical practice that affects millions but often goes unnoticed.
Dr. Joseph explains why HFD doesn’t look like “classic” depression, how trauma and scarcity drive overwork and people-pleasing, and why joy and presence are key to healing. Together, they examine how productivity culture masks pain, how technology and social media amplify disconnection, and what practices can help us reclaim everyday joy.

Commune with Jeff Krasno
Commune is a podcast where we explore the ideas and practices that bring us together and help us live healthy, purpose-filled lives. We believe personal and societal health are two sides of the same coin, and that cultivating personal wellness is the first step toward making the world well. We connect with experts, scientists, and storytellers around food, health, social impact, mindfulness and movement practices, personal growth, and environmental action. In addition to being a podcast, Commune is also an online course platform where thousands of participants take each course together, day-by-day, for free. We then provide social tools that empower participants to form local action groups and implement their new knowledge in their communities.
